011101 und furthm important objects of this ime11tion will be apparentf1om the disc1osu1es in the specification and the accompanyingdrz1wings.

My invention 1's S1IOWI1 (in a preferred f01111) in the accompanyingdrawings, wherein 21 w0111:111s hat is used 218 an illustraticm. It willbe apparent th-at this inventi011 is equa11y applicable t 0 mens h atsand caps and is of especial utility with s1nfi h g1ts,

11'111C11S61d0111 n1z1ke 21 perfect fit 2111 :1round the wez1rers head.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is 211 in dotted 1ines the shape assumed bythe sheath 01 bandeau of my invention when the s11eath is contracted.

Figu1e 2 is an elevation 0f the hat with .pi1rt of the rim brok n away.

Figure 3 is 21 section on the line 33 0f F 1g1110 1 with Part 0f thelining broken awuy.

Figule 4 is 11 section similar to Figure 3 with s1ight modificz1tions inthe sheath 01 bandeau.

As s110w11 011 the rawings:

My invention-is shown embodied in a. hat consistmg of a crown 1 undbri'm 2 Which forrn no part' of this invention and therefore theparticular shape thereof is immatemal.

p1a11 view of 21 hat showing My invex1tion consists of 21 sheath orbandeau 3 fastened at its l oweredge to the junction of the haberomn 1and brim 2 in the usual Position f0r 21 sweat band in 21 mans hat. Thesheath iscomposed of 21 folded piece of stifl cloth such as certaingrades of musli n and'is cut on the bias so as to form a st1fl' springyelement. Through t11is folded sheath is threaded 21 tz1pe or ribbon 4,the ends of Which come 0ut :1t the opening for1ned .at the joint 0f thesheath, which may be located at one side 01' the rear of the hat. 011 21womans hat an z1perture 5 in the crown is alignment with the opening inthe sheath andthe ends of the 1ibbon 01 tape am brought through theapertm-e und allowed to dangle over the brirn 0f the hat in the f011n ofstreamers. within the sheath mz1y be of one kind of material and thes'treamers formed 0f sonne ornarnental fabric.

If desired, an inner lining 6 can be placod in the crown covering thesheath 111d secured t0 the hat by the same stitching that of the hat,one end will be immovable beprovided in approximate Of course, the tapel cau se it is sewed into the heath around the front part while theother end will be the one that contracts the rear prtion of the sheath.

The modification shown in Fig. 4:uses two 'tapes fastened in the sheath,one n each side 0f tlie hat, and when using a side outlet I hat is agood one tape comes directly ont while the other is threaded through the.sheath around-the rear art of the hat. lhe act-ion of this modi cationis identical with the ofiher-form,

simply untying the tizpes would permit readjustment.

In case further elasticity is required 'aften the tapes have been tiedin adjustegil position, said tape may be provided w1th one or moreelastic inserts which allow of a 06riaain amount of yieldingsupple'menting i:he yielding of the sheath 3. 1 I am aware th'at nUmemusdetails 0f constmlction may be varied through a wi ile range withoutdeparting f1om the priuciples of this inventiqn, and I therefore do notpurpose limiting the patent granted otherwise than necessitated by theprior art.

I claim as my invention:

In a hat, a sheath attached thereto ab its lower edg'e, and a tapeextending around the upper free edge of said sheath and fastened to theportion thereof around the front of the hat, the ends of said tapeextending t hrough an aperture in the hat.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in thepresenceo1": two
